CHAPTER ONE.
Riddhima rattled off the last few words of the path. LAB report, took the form out for the machine and reached for its cover. She was late by reason of dr sapna having to go to the dentist and riddhima had offered to finish off her reports for her. If she wasnt to keep siddhant waiting, she would have to get a move on. She got to her feet , a averagely tall shapely girl with long dark hair pinned into a careless french pleat, and a pretty face, and strechted and yawned widely , glad to be free from her typewriter atlast. Riddhima, a contend girl, sometimes found herself at the end of a busy day wishing tht she was somewhere else, somewhere exotic, dressed to kill and being plied with champagne by some man who adored her... so silly, she admonised her reflection, and surely she was old enough not to daydream. Especially as there was siddhant. It was regreattable but she had found herself quite unable to daydream about siddhant. He was everything a protective husband should be, non smoking, non alcoholic, with a steady job in a buliding society and a nice home, he was pleasant companion, too. They had known each other for so long tht she wasnt sure when the idea of marrying had turned from a vague possiblity to a taken for granted fact. Certainly he had never actually proposed.
She fetched for her purse from the desk drawer, turned off the lamp and went out of the room, Plunging at once into the narrowpassage with a stone floor. It wounded its way round the back off the hospital, a way on she and sapna used and ofcourse the dean's cabin was situated there. As she passed she saw shashank readin something. Sanjeevani without dr shashank was unthinkable of. She then saw dr shubhanker , a pleasant man, with good looks and irresistable charm. Shubhanker paused and looked at riddhima " You work late, miss gupta. Are we really hard on you?"
She stopped in front of him " oh, no, sir, actually sapna had a dentist appointment, so i took on her work, not a deal, only one or two reports were left" She smiled at him in return, she liked him. He was beautifully mannered, she noticed. "you like your work" shubhanker asked " yes, very much, you see it isnt just some office work, we meet lots of people, its never really boring" "you dont strike me as being a young lady to be easliy bored . She was a little surprised at tht. As far as she was aware he knew nothing about her, thier meeting han been brief and businesslike. She instantly replied "no, i m not...'
And now you will go home and doubtless spend your evening with some fortunate young man, right? "well, yes"
so then i must not keep you waiting" He was his ussal self again and riddhima bade him good bye
She was already so late and the next bus was too full for her to get on into, and she had to wait full ten minutes for the next bus. She had to meet siddhant, just like how she did since the time they started seeing each other. She liked him but she dint feel the Love, nonetheless she knew he was perfect for her. But did she actually want someone perfect? she hushed tht thought away and tried to be excited to meet him. She failed miserably at it. But she would try at least. Finally the bus came and she jumped on to it...
